Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts
Essays on Mental Health and Ancient Church Practices
Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts is a collection of deeply personal and pastoral essays exploring how ancient Christian practices can meet us in the middle of modern mental health struggles. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, or simply longing for peace in a chaotic world, this book offers a gentle invitation to find healing through sacred rhythms like prayer, Sabbath, liturgy, service, and more.
Written with honesty and hope, this book doesn’t offer quick fixes. Instead, it points to the beauty of slowing down, showing up, and rooting yourself in practices that have carried the Church through centuries of both suffering and joy.

group blogging project: the case for christmas
It's the reason for the season... How many times do Christians make this very statement about the 'holiday season'? There are so many traditions that surround the Christmas holiday, that sometimes the Truth about the birth of a Savior gets lost. Worse yet, many of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HmaydCPbhA Note: This is an excerpt of the featured Faith post (written by yours truly!) at HighCallingBlogs.com. I met this guy (we'll call him Joshua) on the street in a popular downtown area one night while he was waiting for a taxi....
[12 days of awesomeness] day six: real live preacher

[12 days of awesomeness] day five: shrinking the camel
When I started my 'blogging career' I actually started two blogs. BibleDude.net was one of them, and management by God was the other one. It has been a while since I've updated mbG, but I definitely felt like I did some good work there. It was a path of discovery for...
[12 days of awesomeness] day four: joyful christian wife
Marlo Boux never ceases to amaze me. I think that when I first met her through some mutual blogging circles, she was a fairly typical stay-at-home wife, home-schooling mom, blogger. After all, the name of her blog says it all! But somehow I had a feeling that she was...
[12 days of awesomeness] day three: not so fast
This one is a fairly new friend that I've made online, but... DUDE, I like that way she thinks! I love it when I see people who challenge the status quo, and not simply cave in to popular culture because it's just easier that way. And this is exactly what Not So Fast...
[12 days of awesomeness] day two: church whisperer
One of the saddest things that happens in the church is a split. Too often, church splits are not caused because of great growth (which would be a good thing), but because people could not get along or agree with each other (which is a bad thing). I think that it's...

celebrating [12 days of awesomeness]
In case you haven't noticed, there is a lot of amazing stuff happening in blogging these days! Every time I turn around, I am seeing people stand up and raise their voice for what they believe in. The cool part of this is that people are listening. But the really cool...
